He is the perfect example of a guy who is smoke and mirrors that a shrewd GM would get rid of while he still had value before everyone else in the league caught on.

Team is 7th bottom in the league. Almost everyone on the roster has seen their play fall off a cliff. The coach and his staff are completely in over their heads with no answers and have their jobs because the organization has no standards and refuses to hire actual pros with track records of success. The GM who was the most comically unqualified GM hire since noted lunatic Charles Wang made his backup goalie Garf his new GM failed miserably this offseason and was fine with putting all his chips on a college goalie with 7 NHL games despite anyone with an above room temperature IQ knowing it would end in disaster. 13 in a row is all but a lock and it's painfully obvious nothing is going to change. This is the most incompetent failure of an organization in the modern era of the sport so yes, I think "bitching and moaning" about this isn't "shtick", it's a response to a situation that is completely unacceptable and needs to change.

Just to make things clear as I sense some people did not understand what I said: While Pegula is a simpleton who constantly does stupid things and gets conned like a mark at the county fair on a regular basis he is not evil, he is simply very foolish. Ballard is one of the most horrible people in the history of hockey (Google "Maple Leaf Gardens Pedophile Ring" which he essentially turned a blind eye to, and that's just the tip of the iceberg).

The key difference is that both are/were incompetent but Pegula is a clueless simpleton whereas Ballard was a sick and detestable human being with no redeeming value whatsoever. Sadly he is not currently burning in Hell for eternity as even Satan has standards for admission.

1-2 on the massive homestand that was going to see us go on a miracle run and turn around the season. SAME OLD *****

Look at the rosters of some of the teams above us and then say it's the roster and not the fact that the coaching sucks. Do you SERIOUSLY think the Caps, Flyers and Islanders have better rosters? Do think it's an accident that people who ***** sucked here leave and almost overnight do a 180 with their new teams? How many times are people not going to learn their lesson about blaming the players and getting crowned as hard as possible?

If Dom was fired tomorrow is there ANYONE insane enought to think he would ever get another NHL head coaching gig?

Um...... Yeah.

Last year at this time our record was worse than our play merited, this year it is better than it merits.

How could anyone in their right mind NOT give this team an F? This season has been a monumental catastrophe and if the organization had any standards whatsoever the entire coaching staff would've already been sacked.

Behold, Tagesus!!!!!!!!

There's a very good chance Donnie will be one of the 5 longest tenured coaches in the league next season. At this point all you can do is laugh.

Dumbleavy is such a pathetic bootlicking toadie. What a ***** pile of ***** he just spouted, symbolic of just how little respect the miserable ***** on his Superyacht has for the fans of the team he murdered.

That writer flat out sucks at his job. I mean we went out of our way to get Greenway and aren't trading him short of some absolutely stupid offer we can't refuse.

To some degree I feel bad for the guy because the decision to ***** over the Isles and go to Toronto wasn't his (and I think you know who I'm referring to).

The day the Whalers died. ***** you Ed Johnston, worst GM in the history of American pro sports.

The problem (the coach and his staff completely suck) is so painfully obvious:

98-107-25.

Our fans never learn. They NEVER learn. If you assembled a team out of players who got run out of this organization they'd be a strong favorite to win the cup. THE TEAM SUCKS BECAUSE THE COACHING STAFF TOTALLY ***** SUCKS.

Their rivals? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They have a future, we don't.

There is no such thing as a referendum game because there are no standards to be met. They could go out and lose 12-0 and then lose every remaining game on the schedule and nothing will happen.

Would you work for an organization that has a GM whose only qualification for the job was being a loyal sycophant of the least successful owner in hockey history?

The chance of this happening is -459.67: Absolute zero.
